You've seen this quest before way back in Lakeshire. Bring a water breathing potion or a warlock for convenience.

Commento di 182651

You have to open the Raised Mud piles. Just about all of them will give you a hostile mob called Siltslither Eel. Just keep going to mounds.

Commento di 34382

Strong new candidate for the Worst Quest Ever award.

Underwater - where you move slow, can't eat, and can't drink? Check.

Endlessly clicking piles of crap hoping to find a quest item? Check.

Constantly ambushed by pointless spawned mobs? Check.

Annoying mobs that just get in the way and respawn quickly? Check.

The gnome who gives you this quest gives you a water breathing buff item with 3 charges of 3 minutes each. Don't assume that 9 minutes is going to be way more than enough time to complete the quest.

Commento di 19936

For mages out there who don't feel like killing the endless eels, blink just after opening and head to the next pile unagro'd.

Commento di elilla

If this happens, and you truly are the most unlucky person out there...

There are times I'm the most unlucky person out there. I'm sure others have been in the same boat with various quests going, I'm sure I'm cursed. This drop rate is terrible, blizzard hates me. Just one more and I'll have it. It's only 12am...no wait 2am...

Just to add in a small bit of irony, it took me around 17 mins to get the keys.

Commento di 29549

Almost 3000 quests done to this point, this is the worst far and away.

Worse than hecular's rod, seriously...

Commento di 16721

I dont see the big problem at all, i went down the lake, and the first mud i looked in, i found the keys ..

Good luck..

Commento di dustdog

got it first try; might have been changed.

Commento di 22244

Nope still got at least 15 eels before finding the keys.

Commento di Evgeny

Spent about 20 min with no luck. Logged out, logged in, got on first try. So, if you're unlucky, try relogging maybe?

Commento di Norseguy

Getting alot of skins at least.

Commento di Wombatcowboy

If you can grab Jaloot from the oracles before you attempt this he gives you 100% swim speed!

Commento di 244697

well only took me 2 goes and got the key about 2-3mins job i most be lucky lol

Commento di Micke

Yeah, Southwind, you were pretty lucky because this is anoying quest. Even though wowhead says its 100% droprate, it aint.

Commento di nightshifter

Spent an hour at this, filled up my bags with leather and gray items, but no keys. relogging didn't work. gave up to try later.

Commento di 153885

This quest really !@#$ed me off because it took forever but in the end it paid off with the xp

Commento di Mustacious

Rofl... i killed maybe 5 of the eels,and got the keys.Really easy for me atleast :)

Commento di 68380

After killing and searching everything in the lake for 12 min..I found the Key in a dirt pile at 47,63

Commento di Savalina

I was dreading this quest as I read everyone's comments. All I could think of was the frustration and aggravation that was about to consume the next hour of my life....so I went in the lake prepared to be there for a while.....5 minutes later (exactly my 3rd dirt mound) I found Vic's keys...people say "LOL" all the time, but seriously I really did laugh out loud.

Commento di 258260

at River's Heart at 48,64 use the item providing you underwater breathing and start examining the dirt piles on the bottom of the lake i found the key after 5th-6th try

Commento di Tullisar

Better yet, bring a skinner along with you so you get something valuable out of the whole quest.

Both the Eels and the Threshers can be skinned. No scraps either out of the 30 or so eels I killed.

Commento di Factsfountain

Found the keys in three tries and didnt even know i had an air tank. This quest is all about chance. If you're lucky, you can easily get the keys in the first dirt pile you check.

Commento di 74455

Got my key at the 3rd Mud Pile, my breath didn't even reach 50%. :P

Commento di Mazater

If you're a part of the oracles, get yourself Jaloot's crystal (From Soo-say in the nearby village) and summon him up, Jaloot's buff happens to increase your swimming speed by 100%, pretty neat.

Commento di 234577

A nice tip for rogues and druids, just stealth as soon as you've opened the mud pile and you won't have to fight the eels that come out of it. Saves quite some time since you won't have to do any fighting in between opening the piles.

Commento di 268071

not sure if this is important, but once my Water breathing tank ran out of time and i was running on breath, i got the keys... test this out, see if it helps. Could be a coincidence.

Commento di Werlwind

Got it after 3rd mud, so random loot is random.

Commento di 119010

lmao i got it on the second mound
happy hunting

Commento di stathisdjs

This is 100% easyer if you still have the Nagrand Beries(Horde).

Commento di 249381

19 minutes if you run outta the water the fish reset and stop anyone else from getting the next dirt pile to spawn

Commento di fulgericus

you dont have to worry about breathing under water if you have https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=44050

Commento di easymodenub

lol I meant mound*

Commento di 281732

Druids may use Aquatic form to recover their breathe.
CaptainObvious

Commento di 283772

Found at 48, 63

Commento di 69178

I had equal troubles for this blasted quest too, but I noticed something...

At 47,63 in the lake is a very small cove that's formed by a fallen tree trunk that sticks out of the water.

After going through endless mounds, I came upon the mound that is nestled inside that cove, and thought to myself "Now, there's no WAY that it's in there."

To my astonishment, it was. Can we get more confirmation?

Otherwise the actual pile for this quest is at 47,63.

Commento di martinu

if you managed to empty the breathing tank, simply re-take the quest

Commento di 237216

Warlocks can use their Voidwalker to take all the agro as you you collect everything.

Commento di 196494

I got the key second mound :D

Commento di 279616

Took me forever to find this, but I feel don't think it should be any easier, after all, finding a god-damn key in a lake is like finding a needle in a haystack - it's supposed to take forever!

Commento di sirhelmet

1st mound.... with 2 characters...

Commento di 18941

Got it on 2nd try!

Commento di 295963

Coordinates would be helpful.... so...it's in the Lakeside Landing area, just so you don't go around all over the lake like I did wondering where the heck the keys could be...Only makes sense, since it's where you pick up the quest...duh

Commento di 165909

It seems to me, that keys spawn when you have used all of 3 charges Air Tank. Did this quest 2 times and in both cases keys droped immediately after using 3rd charge.

Commento di 283222

Got mine in the third mud pile, did not even have to use any airtank.

Commento di 273768

Got this on first mud pile after i got the quest. Talk about lucky.

Commento di 307166

OMFG wot is that quest about...at lvl 77..i have so much to do levelling wise..the last thing i need is to be splashing around for yeah no joke 1hr and 16 mins and STILL not find that key....I officially give up on this pointless quest...and yeah it definitely is a winner for WORST QUEST EVER

Commento di Khaloc

I got the keys in the first mud pile I looked in. Its just a random occurrence. Kill the mobs and look in the mud until you find it.

Commento di 45886

Key came out of the 37th mud pile on one character, 24th mud pile on another, and 41st mud pile on the last.

Only reason to do this quest is the semi-neat afterquest for it. Otherwise, you may as well gather up a pack of gorillas and AOE them down, it's the same experience and far less frustration.

Commento di 311243

The small sand heaps in the River's Heart (48,63).
I got the key on the 6th try. Didn't even need to use the Air Tank.

Commento di Gogetaex

I got it 4th mound tbh :o.

Commento di CornPopss

Lucky me, i still have my Nagrand Cherry. :D

Commento di 283849

I guess I got lucky. As an Undead I had already the racial advantage of 10 minutes underwater breathing, so I didn't have to use Vic' emergency air tank. At the first three heaps I was attacked by the eel, but at the fourth I found the keys. Quick quest for me, but as I said: I guess I got lucky...

Commento di SharkBait

lol Key on first try :)

Commento di 337106

Not that anyone cares, but the quest name has a typo in it. It's embarrassing, not embarassing. I was trying to look it up on Wowhead and couldn't find it because I was spelling it right. lol

Commento di Kurge

I carry my Hydrocane for farming and quests like this.

Have to admit...for 12 gold it seems a bit overkill, the drop rate is so low.

Commento di 338728

it only took about roughly 7 minutes for me to find the key...found it on the south side of the lake after 3 piles and a few invaders.

Commento di Genemos

haha for the first time in my wow playing time I got lucky, or so it seems, got it on the second pile of mud ^^
well gl all peeps with this quest. Btw, I had tua'kea's breathing bladder on me (got it from a quest in dragonblight)
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=37265
So even if I hadn't found it so quickly I would have been able to breathe underwater for quite some time. Sometimes it can be good to save such stuff...

Commento di 326026

i left the water after looking through about 6 mud piles, then went back in. the first one i visited had the key. maybe it was luck, i dunno. but worth a shot to exit the water and go back in.

Commento di 65112

Please Listen to Above Last posts. I am a 77 Druid and I looted 6 mud piles. No key. I exited the water and read WoWhead. Posts said leave water and next drop will be key.

It Happened. My next drop upon reentering the water was a mud pile with a key.

Good luck! :)

Commento di Eveena

I finally found them in the lake, under a rock outcropping at 46/64. Don't know if they are always there or not. I believe the flight point opens up once you are done, just like the one at Nesingwary Base Camp.

Commento di fmneto

Took me no more than a Nagrand Cherry (5 min) to do it. I've seen much worse...

Commento di 353291

it took me 4 min. so i guess im lucky

Commento di 266957

Wowhead.com is magic. I hunted like 100 piles (not exaggerating) and kept getting those F***ING eels, and finally I decide that "I'm gonna go check Wowhead and see if I'm doing something wrong." ... So wowhead tells me to keep doing it I'm doing it right. "Darn." I say to myself. "Guess I'll just have to keep at it..."

... First pile after that. Wowhead is magic. *bows*

Commento di 95380

as of 3.1 you can see that the mound with the key is the one that show the quest progress in the tooltip.

Commento di 147875

Perhaps this was improved some. Took me only 12 attempts. Still, as "cluelessnoob" observed, it was not enjoyable.

Commento di 342420

Is there a prerequisite for this quest? This quest just isn't available for me.

Commento di A2Panther

One of the benefits of keeping up your fishing profession, is to obtain the "Mastercraft Kalu' ak Fishing Pole." 186.5 damage per second and amongst other things, 'Allows for Underwater Breathing.' That said, I equipped my fishing pole, put Misdirect on my Cat, and went to it. 15 mudholes later, found the key. I plowed the mobs with saronite arrows. Hope that helps a few of you!

Commento di 384591

I'm fairly sure that if you have QuestHelper installed you can save a great deal of time on this quest. When you mouseover most of the mud piles, the tooltip will be the vanilla Blizzard tooltip. However, when you mouseover the mud pile with Vic's keys in it, the tooltip will display the QuestHelper objective.

Commento di wowhead100

What an annoying quest, took me like 32 trys to get the key....

Commento di 387262

Haha. I was looking at the comments and I got scared that I'd have to wade for an hour in water. So I closed my quest log, sucked in some nice air, and dove into the pond. In about 5 seconds I was at my first dirt pile. Boom! Vic's Keys!

I was so happy. I'm sorry to hear that you guys had to take so long, but the best advice I could give is to use your own breath to the end, then use the item, then use your breath again, rinse and repeat. Good luck! It's possible to get it quick!
=p

Commento di 322002

I don't know if this was pure chance, but after opening the mud piles for a while and getting eels, the little Blizzard version of Quest Helper showed up saying "Loot for Vic's keys" on one pile, and not the others. Maybe it was here from the beginning but try looking for it in the center of the lake.

This could just be a total fluke too.

Commento di 434264

LOL ROFL i killed two thresers went to the first pile it didnt uncover a mob but i did get the key all in all it took maybe 5 mins,good luck to yall and i hope many others get this result as im usually not that lucky.

Commento di Krateros

I can confirm that being a druid does not help or make this quest enjoyable in any way.

Commento di 369664

THis quest is dull. Not only do you move slowly underwater but you have to open tonnes of them before you get it. If someone else is doing it - come back later.

Took me 27 mounds before i got it.

Commento di laylac

got it on the third try :)

Commento di ribbad1881

As you may all of noticed in 3.2 or possibly 3.1 I forget, blizzard added a questhelper feature that when you scroll over mobs it tells you if they drop a quest item. I noticed today while doing this quest all the Dirt Mound's said nothing when I scrolled over them, then one of the dirt mounds said 'Vic's Key'. Opened it and BAM! Vic's key first try. GL And Happy Questing! =]

Commento di 288048

I believe the drop rate was buffed in 3.2, I see a post from 3.2 saying they got it on their third try and I personally got it on my 5th.

Commento di Zorotaur

why is it that why when i go into the lake and come to one of the mounds of dirt it doesnt let me open it or anything its just there and i get no action at all from putting my mouse on it.

Commento di 455887

Hi did this quest today 13th Sept 09 if you can find a safe place just mouse over the mounds and a pop up will apear saying Vic's Keys. All will say mud mound but the one with the keys in says so. did it in about 2 mins try it ! thanks

Commento di 457526

got it on my first mound at 48,62

Commento di Urbanmech

I seriously just opened every damn mud pile TWICE and nothing. no tooltip, no keys. NOTHING.

Took me 22 min. I was on my druid, so i ran around in aquatic form opening the dirts and running from the eels. The tooltip trick does work... but it doesn't work if NONE of the piles have the goddam key

Commento di sskain

found it at the first mudpile I looked ^^

Commento di d0zer1984

I found vics key at 47.91-63.06

Commento di Ropez

25 mins later, still no key... I suggest everyone simply mass abandon this quest as a sign of protest to fix the drop/find rate for this quest. :/

Commento di Vissari

i got it off the first mud pile.... HAH

Commento di Konani

Wait... i just did this quest, and i just dove right into the middle of the lake, found one of these sparkly mounds, and picked up my key. Needed to kill one mob diving at me, but that was it.
-You sure it's hard to get?

Commento di 570512

Got keys on my second mound and also got some nice gloves to sell on Auction. So either I am extremely lucky or something.

Got mine on the first lol

Commento di Allakhazam

Search the dirt mounds under water.

Use the air tank Vic put in your backpack

The Key will show up if it's there.

If not, an eel pops out so you have a short easy fight.

Got my key on 4th mound...the one tucked inside a hollow log 47, 63.

It's a random find though.

Commento di Allakhazam

Tried loads of mounds, nothing, check website to see if i'm doing something wrong, next mound i get key.
Maybe alt-tab does miracles. Pfff

Commento di Allakhazam

I think I need an achievement for how many Eels I killed while doing this quest...upwards of 20 and still no Keys.

Commento di Allakhazam

along with the eels . If you get the keys in under 5 tries, consider yourself very lucky. Another kill, repeat, kill, repeat dumb quest.

Commento di Allakhazam

i didnt use air tank but after clearing the whole lake once and then half way through again i got the key.. i agree i need an achievement for killing eels.

Commento di Allakhazam

I searched eight mounds using the Warlock unending breath spell, and no luck. Equipped the air tank he gave me for the quest and got it on the second mound. I don't know if this mattered or if it was just when I got lucky.

Commento di Allakhazam

Have been through about 20 mounds. Quest leads no where.. screw it. Abandoned for being BS.

An Embarassing Incident

Look for Vic's Keys inside the lake at River's Heart.

	Vic's Keys (1)

Articolo Fornito:

	Vic's Emergency Air Tank (1)

Descrizione

There's one little problem we have to solve before we head out. You see, I can't seem to find the keys to my flying machine.

I've looked pretty much everywhere for them... maybe you can give me a hand. Only place I haven't looked yet is inside the lake.

I'll even give you my very own air tank. It's almost empty, but it's got a couple of hits left.
